Just to show that Fotoboat never does things by halves, the 2008 Fotoboat Calendar brings you not one but two “Miss Aprils” in the shape of Jane Alexander and Nicola Ogden, snapped by Mike Shaw at the inaugural Symmetric Hiker’s Challenge at Rutland in July this year. This is a great example of Mike’s work: an up-close and personal shot of people enjoying the sport of sailing, under pretty exciting conditions. The rest of his album from this event, at www.fotoboat.com/galleries.htm#2007 is well worth a look, if only for the best shots I have ever seen of a Thames A Rater going absolutely flat-out with spray everywhere.
